DEI Council Update: Meet the Team!
We would like to welcome our new GW MFA DEI Council members. The Council serves as a resource to the organization by cascading information, creating awareness, and outlining pathways for all employees to celebrate their authenticity, while freely demonstrating their skillsets, expertise, and knowledge, in their chosen career fields. Stay tuned for more to come from this team!

Pride at GW Medicine
Pride Month (June 1 to June 30) is celebrated each year to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. Pride Month spotlights LGBTQIA+ voices and celebrates LGBTQIA+ culture, achievements and activism through a series of organized activities, including film festivals, art exhibits, marches, concerts and other programs throughout the month. Through these efforts, the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies aim to spotlight LGBTQIA+ voices and increase awareness.
To commemorate Pride Month this year the GW MFA DEI Council organized a Pride Awareness Mixer that included introductions and networking, a panel by GW Sexual Health and Gender Affirmation (SAGA), a Q&A Session, and discussion of upcoming initiatives.
In addition, members of the GW community celebrated Pride month at the Capital Pride Festival and our Operational Medicine team provided medical aid for festival goers.
